SUPPLEMENTAL FUNDING
Mr. SCHUMER. Madam President, today, the Senate resumes consideration
of the emergency national security supplemental package.
Last night, after we agreed to the motion to proceed, I laid down the
substitute amendment, which has the text of the supplemental, and then
I filed cloture on both the substitute and the underlying bill.
We are still hoping to reach an agreement with Republicans on a
reasonable list of amendments so we can speed this process up.
Democrats have always been willing to have a fair and reasonable
amendment process on the floor, as we have shown on many occasions in
the last 3 years; but if no further agreement is reached, the next vote
is scheduled to take place tomorrow, Sunday, at approximately 1 p.m.
As I have said all week, we will keep working on this bill until the
job is done.
I yield the floor.
